I'm going to heartily agree with Sieck that Life of Brian is The Best MP film. I could easily see a case being made for Meaning of Life or Holy Grail, though I would still disagree. I don't think I know what the other one is...

I just love the combination of history, theology, ridiculous humor, and scathing satire. Holy Grail's got the period aspect, but doesn't have christianity as its main target.

The way they use the character of Brian too just speaks volumes of truth about all kinds of shit. But mostly I like it for the silly lines. "I've been here five years, they only turned me right-side-up last week!"

"spare a talent for an ex-leper sir?" bwahahahaha!

You have to remember. The Knight can bite your kneecaps, and the fact that they are no longer the Knights who say "Ni" they are now the Knights who say "Eki Eki Eki Kapang whoooopow!". Get it right. lol

My question is:

in the part where the "It" is said, and they say "that the Knights of Ni can not stand that word." Isn't that kind of redundant. Would the Knights that say Eki Eki Eki Kapang Whoooopow stand the word it?

phew...honestly, I would not like to have my throat slashed in the night by a scotsman. I mean, they're so hairy, and then there's the kilt to deal with...

I'm just kidding man..I would love to visit your country, and all Scottish people I have met were wonderful, (though I couldn't understand a word they said, and they got all the girls because they were awesome and had awesome accents). They were all blokes, obviously. Never met a scottish girl I don't think.

Though I would imagine if I went to Scotland everyone would auto-hate me because I'm american.
